You prove a good point that caring about numbers is a bad thing and that I should focus more on individual people, but dude I don't even have that. People on my Reddit posts just say it looks cool, like bruh can you play the game please?

Is there a formula that makes games blow up, or at the very least have some YouTubers cover the game and give live feedback?

You've already discovered the formula: meme horror games. I count a total of twenty-six gameplay videos linked from the comments of your other three project pages, mostly for the two Siren Head games. That's a lot. When a YouTuber runs a generic search for "siren head" looking for something to entertain their audience, they will find your games in the list. Your original tower defense project will probably not get the same level of attention as those.

That's why i keep those goofy ah games still published and not drafted, hoping that someone would click my profile and play my other games. The siren head games were mostly just me testing the waters with something I found cool 2 years ago. Now that i shifted directions, it didn't quite work out. I also don't wanna make meme horror games for the rest of my life, but maybe it's a good way of raising some kind of popularity, although a weird one. Sure why not, ill just follow another random trend and make a game about it.

But that still begs the question of how do i get views, downloads and feedback without following a trend. Reddit posts and contacting YouTubers/streamers didn't work out so well but there must be other ways than that right?

You have to follow the trend to get popular, its the only way these days trust me.
